Idol Structures accompanies an exhibition at the DePaul Art Museum
of recent photographs and sculptures by Chicago-based artist Matt
Siber, whose work explores the systems of corporate and mass-media
communication that permeate the urban landscape. Instead of
focusing on the information itself, Siber emphasizes the physical
infrastructure of these systems. Photographs of the narrow edges of
signs, sculptures of billboard ads hanging so loosely that their
text is obscured in the folds, and other unique treatments of
promotional materials distort and subvert the intended messages.
The artist's deconstruction of such commercial efforts reveals an
element of communication meant to remain invisible and subservient
to image, text, and graphics. By highlighting the everyday objects
used to persuade and influence, Siber's art undermines these
communication systems' ability to do precisely what they were
intended to do.
